The Illustrated Guide to Invisible Runes

 "At times the customer may ask 'How do I know you've given me a good value for my money?' Worry not! Rember to point out 'If you can't see 'em, you know you've got proper invisible runes.' "

Those lucky dwarves, despite the risk of being stabbed, shots, poisoned, eaten, mauled, enslaved, eviscerated or involved in accidents... at least they don’t have to worry about immediate dangers like the heat death of the universe.

Urist and Sibrek, a dwarf tragedy of two dwarves who fall in love, even though their families are grudged against each other. They go stark raving mad from that, and jump off a 15 z level tower.

The Dwarf, a epic adventure of a dwarf in his quest to defeat a megabeast.

The dwarven economy is just a stand-in, from what I understand. As it is, it represents an actual economic system about as well as poison ivy represents a salad.

"Yeah. My plan was to drop some kittens into the siege, and have my dwarves freefall into battle, landing on top of the kittens. The plan was kinda dumb though because the kittens were standing on grates, and the goblins killed them with arrows just as I was releasing the freefalling dwarves. So the dwarves weren't able to land on kittens and just fell and died."
